Golovkin wanted to fight Carl Froch at 166

[Robbie Barrett]

Team Golovkin mentioned 168 in multiple interviews at that time. Froch never said anything about 166 being the reason for his hesitation back then. He was talking about not being hungry and his wife wants him to retire. It was all over the media for one year. Now, 3 years later, he suddenly talks about weight being the reason that fight fell through. I think it's laughable. He just can't stand fans still put the blame on him. He should have never entertained that fight back then, because he was never serious about it.

Froch mentioned it in 2015.

Of course Golovkin couldn't go up to 168 at that time though. After he just demanded 164 for Ward.

Yet Ward doing much worse to Dawson was fine.

Accepting Dawsons offer?

Froch is an average fighter. He would of got his ass kicked

Accepting Dawsons offer?

And Brook accepted Hearn offer.

And Brook accepted Hearn offer.

Yep because he took a risk. Mr 154-168 said no to a CW for Brook months earlier.

Mr. 154-168 didn't want to fight below 160 or above 164.

I thought Froch wanted 172?

I was being sarcastic.


Aimed at OP

Went right over my head lol

Froch asked Cleverly to come down at one point. Said he wasn't big enough since Bellew would bash him up in sparring. Even if it's true, asking someone like Froch to come down two pounds, when he gets in the ring only 4 pounds above he's weigh in weight ain't a big deal. Asking someone to come down 5 or 8 is a bit of a piss take.

Lil g never wants to take risks but calls others "businessmen" can't wait til canelo ends the hype train

Didn't Canelo ask him to come down 5lbs? Bit of a difference.
